Moore<\/strong> shared his opinion regarding the future of the <em>Star Trek<\/em> franchise.<\/p>\n<p>According to Moore, Trek rightly belongs on television.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->&#8220;I think [Trek&#8217;s] home and its heart is really in television,&#8221; Moore said, when asked about <em>Star Trek<\/em> while promoting his latest project,<em> Helix<\/em>. &#8220;That&#8217;s really what <em>Star Trek<\/em> is &#8211; the core concept is really a TV show.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moore has nothing against <em>Star Trek<\/em> on the big screen though; he just believes that <em>Star Trek<\/em> would be better served on television. &#8220;I think the features are good and I really admire what <strong>J.J. Abrams<\/strong> has done with the last two films, he said; I think it&#8217;s great; but the heart and soul of that franchise demands a return to television.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The kinds of stories that you&#8217;ll tell in the features space are not the kinds of stories that made that show so popular. The features all have to be action-oriented.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They all have to have enormous stakes &#8211; the Earth or the Federation or the universe has to be in jeopardy &#8211; and the features always have to surround the Captain\u2026 and maybe one other character.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The TV shows were morality plays; they were more thematic; they were examining society in different ways. Sometimes the stakes were just one crew member&#8217;s life; sometimes the stakes were just one alien world or the Enterprise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The TV show is really what <em>Star Trek<\/em> is to me. I think the features are great, but I think it has to return to TV if it&#8217;s going to remain an ongoing franchise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If Trek was to return to television, Moore would like to be part of it. &#8220;I&#8217;d love to do <em>Star Trek<\/em> again, in all honesty,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Star Trek Writer\/Producer Ronald D.
